Parent Liaison

Hello Belmont Ridge Families! My name is Susan Ferguson and I am the Parent Liaison at Belmont Ridge Middle School. My husband and I have four sons - all of whom are Belmont Ridge alumni - and I am proud to be a part of this amazing and dynamic school community.

A Parent Liaison is a school employee who works to bridge the gap between home and school by helping parents get the information and support they need to ensure their child's academic and social success. As a parent, you have a private link, connection, and bridge to your child's school.

Often, parents feel uncomfortable about sharing their questions or concerns with the teachers or school administration. Because good communication between home and school is such a vital part of your child's academic success, the Parent Liaison will listen to your concerns and then work with you to make sure the your situation, question, or point of view is expressed and understood. All conversations are strictly confidential.

If you have a question pertaining to our school but don't know who to ask, please feel free to contact me and I will do my best to point you in the right direction!

As the Parent Liaison at Belmont Ridge, I am excited to help support our school in the area of

community service. I work with such groups as the PTO, Bright Life Buddies, and NJHS (National Junior Honor Society) to make a difference in our community. I work with our school administrators to keep you up to date with opportunities that are available in our school for volunteering and giving back.

Email is typically the best way to reach me, as my hours at the school vary. My email address is Susan.Ferguson@lcps.org.

I look forward to seeing you at the 'Ridge!
